I am amazed that this myth is still believed by any agent who has a license.  I'm further amazed that in this market anyone makes a full price offer ;-)  This HAS to be another one of your 'what if' scenario's - right?

What If I make a full price offer on your house, but ask you to pay ALL of my closing costs as well as pay the HOA fees for let's say, two years?

Let's not stop there........I also want you to  pay for a home inspection - and leave that field wide open so the seller had to fix anything I demand.

Let's take it a step further and get more outrageious:  I also put a clause in that says I am not going to close for a year?

I tell my sellers all the time not to focus on the price,iterms can kill that in a hearbeat. 

The focus should always be on the  bottom line and the ability of the buyer to actually close and how long that will take to happen.

Having said that, if I got an offer like the scenario above, I would send them your great video of shooting a hole in it - rofl!! THAT WAS PRICELESS!!

Paula and Jay, I appreciate you guys stopping by. I truly just don't know how some people survivie in this business. And I really feel for the poor consumer that gets stuck working with someone that's clueless.
